    ....by 1.5 in their house. That surprised me. I figured 3 for home field, plus they should be the fav by 1 or 2. I would have guessed the line closer to 5 in fav of the Titans.

    I had thought it would be -1 for each.

    Must have fast start this game, no slow starts. Fast start hopefully takes Henry a little out of the game and forces Tennessee to play catch up.

    A lot better than us being favored at home. The mask mandate is still intact as well. I like our chances.

    Agreed. We started with a great drive that ended in 3 points. We really need to get 7 when we are that close...I do not think the e'swill do it this week.

    Well, as many people on other threads have pointed out, the teams we've beaten are 0-9. The teams the Titans have beaten are 1-8. So one point for home field sounds fair.

    Game will come down to is if we can do to Henry what we've done to three other quality running backs. If he averages under 3 a carry, we'll win. He goes over 4, we'll lose. In between, coin flip.

    Being that stadiums are virtually empty there really isn’t a homefield advantage anymore

    Be interesting to see how many of our fans are in Tennessee this weekend. My wife got a little sauced up Saturday night and was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a trip.

    damn I hate those nights. Many moons ago I got hammered while watching tv and got suckered into sponsoring a wolf. I had no recollection at all and suddenly pictures of “my wolf “started showing up in the mail, recurring fee on credit card. It was a mess.

    Steeler penalties equals Steeler loss. Clean game equals Steeler win.

    This is what I am thinking. Having DeCastro back will help for certain. It did against the likes of JJ Watt. While Justin Simmons is a player on the rise, he is not on the same level as JJ Watt is. Clowney is another issue all together though.



    Look for Vrabel to try some stunts and twists inside. Starting fast will play right into our defenses hands. Derrick Henry will have no where to run should we do that.

    I wouldn’t complain about recurring credit card fees if Margot was involved

    This game seems like a toss up. Neither team has played a winning team yet. In fact, none of the teams the steelers and titans have beaten have won a single game yet between them. This game will tell us a lot about both teams.

    Wins/losses right now don't paint a good picture of most teams. The Ravens are 2-1 and we are sitting at 3-0 with the Chiefs. Anyone want to rank teams by their records right now? Didn't think so.

    We aren't even what we looked like on the field based on level of competition. A good Steeler team would have handled the first 3 teams we faced with ease. That didn't happen. We have our work cut out for us because we're simply not that good right now.

    The encouraging aspects of the first 3 games is that we didn't find ways to lose games, we really didn't start out slow, and we actually look like we're going to be able to make effective adjustments during the game. We have been a little sloppy, but that's acceptable considering the limited preparation. All in all, we're in a good position and most of our problems look to be correctible.

    I think that is a fair assessment. Steelers are quite lucky with the schedule they got to start the season, it has allowed them to stack wins while working out the kinks in the team, putting them in a very nice position going forward.

    There was however a marked improvement after halftime in the Texans game so perhaps we can be optimistic about the next few weeks. It was like the light came on. We will know if this is the case on Sunday when they face a good but beatable Titans side. If they go 4-0 I think we can all start to believe.

    After watching KC last night if Mahomes doesn’t get injured none of this matters. That dude looks like the GOAT and it’s only his third year??

    Fat Andy had the Ravens baffled a few times with his offensive prowness. Mahomes hit the football lottery.

    It sucks because we are finally rid of Brady at the very end of Bens career and now Mahomes is looking completely unstoppable.

    I agree that he looks SPECIAL but I never get too excited about a player until after he's done it for three years. I don't see him falling back to earth but I believe the league will figure him out............................. to a degree.
